Mesenchymal Stem Cells01:19

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their access...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cosmetic Procedures
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Mesotherapy involves minimally invasive injections for cosmetic and medical conditions.
  • It has gained significant public attention through media and online platforms.
  • The procedure utilizes a mixture of various compounds for treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the available scientific evidence on the effectiveness and safety of mesotherapy.
  • To provide a position statement from the IADVL taskforce regarding mesotherapy.
  • To identify the need for further research in this area.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing scientific literature and evidence.
  • Analysis of data pertaining to mesotherapy's efficacy and safety.
  • Formulation of a consensus statement by the IADVL taskforce.

Main Results:

  • There is a lack of acceptable scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of mesotherapy.
  • Adequate scientific data regarding the safety of mesotherapy is also insufficient.
  • The IADVL taskforce identifies mesotherapy as a controversial treatment.

Conclusions:

  • The current evidence does not substantiate the purported benefits of mesotherapy.
  • Further well-designed, controlled scientific studies are necessary.
  • The use of mesotherapy remains scientifically controversial.
